ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions announced Monday that they would no longer negotiate with Ndamukong Suh, and did it just as the team was warming up for their first practice.

Writers scrambled to get out the news, which diverted attention away from the team on Day 1 of training camp. But Day 2 should be all about the football.

Detroit hits the practice field in Allen Park at 3:30 p.m. for their second workout. Here's a quick look at what's going on.

COMING UP
A few things we'll be watching today:

* Rookie linebacker Kyle Van Noy was an important draft pick for the Lions because he can play strong-side linebacker in the new scheme. He's expected to start. Only problem: His first professional training camp practice was cut short with a thumb injury. Jim Caldwell suggested the injury was minor, and it'll be interesting to see if Van Noy is cleared to return today.

* Cornerback Darius Slay picked up right where he left off in the spring, turning in yet another strong practice with the ones. But Caldwell knows he's a young player, too, and is looking for Slay to provide consistency. Today is a chance for him to show progress there.

* Who reps with the ones at right tackle? Corey Hilliard was there Monday, but LaAdrian Waddle is the favorite for the job. The Lions could cycle between those two guys during the early portions of camp until someone separates himself.

* Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate and Jeremy Ross all have jobs at receiver. Ryan Broyles probably does, too. That leaves a whole bunch of guys fighting for one or two spots. Kevin Ogletree had a good first day Monday, and could take another step toward winning a job by showing he can sustain it.

* Check back this evening, approximately two hours after practice ends, for the latest news from the session, as well as our daily practice notes and observations. We'll also have a photo gallery from the first day.

LOOKING BACK
In case you missed them, here are some items worth reading:

* In case you live under a rock, the biggest news of the day was Detroit announcing its decision to cut off contract negotiations with star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

* Though it was overpowered by the Suh drama, here's a friendly reminder that Detroit actually practiced yesterday. Football is back! Justin Rogers provided some thoughts from the workout in his daily series.

* General manager Martin Mayhew wouldn't close the door on possibly adding some help in the secondary, where Detroit finished 23rd against the pass last year, then cut starting corner Chris Houston.
